Social Impact
Social Impact Initiative
In line with Project Managers Without Borders, which seeks to connect project managers around the world with nonprofit organizations, enabling them to apply their professional skills to drive impact on global social challenges, at the Ireland Chapter of PMI, we believe that project management has the power to create lasting, positive change in our local community. That’s why we’ve launched our Social Impact initiative is grounded in the belief that successful, sustainable impact is not only about delivering projects, but also about building capacity, supporting long-term solutions, and empowering the next generation of changemakers.
Through this initiative, we aim to contribute to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defined under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, both by strengthening nonprofits in their project management practices and by empowering the next generation of changemakers to bring ideas to life.
